AOL launches open source platform for Mobile phone. I talked to Jai Jaisimha, VP Products AOL Mobile about this program on friday and this program is more ambitious than anything we have seen thus far as it includes all device types - essentially abstract the device layer and let developers focus on apps. If there is enough traction, the AOL’s business model is to monetize services built around this open source platform.
